SANS Cloud Security Exchange Summit & Training 2026

What’s Next in AI and Cloud Security

Special Anniversary Offer: To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we're offering the SANS Cloud Security Exchange Summit pass for only $250 through July 10.

As we celebrate the fifth year of the SANS Cloud Security Exchange, we're bringing it together with our SANS CloudSecNext Summit for the first time — live in San Francisco.

Hear from Anthropic, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, SANS, and the security community as they explore the governance, security, and operational realities of deploying and securing AI in the cloud. Through keynote presentations, technical talks, hands-on workshops, and a featured discussion bringing AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft together on stage, attendees will gain practical insight into AI governance, machine identities, Zero Trust, autonomous systems, and the evolving challenges of securing modern cloud environments.

Designed for practitioners, architects, engineers, managers, and security leaders alike, the Summit delivers actionable guidance, forward-looking discussions, and opportunities to learn directly from the organizations and practitioners helping shape the future of AI and cloud security.
